Plan
Tell Fed what you can spend, which days you eat at home, where you shop and what you don't eat. You get a week of dinners that share ingredients, so less of what you buy goes to waste.
For students in the Netherlands
Eat well on a student budget, without being sold to.
Fed plans a week of dinners you can afford, turns it into one shopping list, and makes tomorrow's lunch out of tonight's leftovers. It isn't run by a supermarket, so it never tries to get you to buy more.

How a week works
Shop
One list in aisle order, with the Dutch name from the shelf next to each item — “passata · gezeefde tomaten”. Tick things off as you go. Once you've opened it, the list works with no signal.
Cook
Fed tells you what's for dinner tonight. Cooking mode takes you through it one step at a time, with timers, and dinner makes enough for tomorrow's lunch.
Why it's different
- Nobody is selling you anything.A supermarket's meal planner is there to sell groceries. Fed has nothing to sell, so it can tell you to buy less.
- Honest totals.Prices come from the supermarkets' own websites, with the date shown for each shop, and people who shop there can correct them. The total is an estimate and says so.
- Less waste, measured.Meals that share a basket leave about a fifth less unfinished than unrelated recipes. Some is always left over, so leftovers mode turns it into another meal.
- You learn to cook.Every dish explains why it works, so you get better at cooking instead of just following instructions.
- Leftovers you can trust.Lunches are planned within 2 days of cooking, as the Voedingscentrum advises for food kept in the fridge.

Questions
Do I need an account?
No. Your week is saved on this device. An account keeps it — and your likes, dislikes and notes — on your other devices too.
Which supermarkets?
Lidl, Aldi, Jumbo, Albert Heijn, Plus and EkoPlaza.
What about allergies?
Tick them when you plan and those ingredients are left out of every meal. Always check the packaging too — Fed's allergen information is guidance, not a guarantee.
Is it in Dutch?
Yes — Fed is in English and Dutch, and you can switch in the menu. In English, the shopping list shows the Dutch name for every ingredient so you can find it on the shelf.
